More Information
Welcome to the 2013 Cuboree Your volunteer staff has been working hard and are very excited. We have lots of great activities and events planned. We are thrilled with the response we have had. We are expecting around 800 Cub Scouts so come with a positive attitude and a spirit of working together. Here are some ways to get ready: 1) We need recyclables for one of our activities. We need each pack to bring a bag or 20 or more of the following items (these will be collected from you at check-in: Possible items - egg cartons clean empty tin cans with no sharp edgessmall to medium-sized cardboard boxes - cereal boxes, etc. paper towel tubes lidsstyrofoam trays or boxes 2) Due to the participation of the Raleigh Astronomy Club the Scouts who meet with astronomers on Saturday evening will be assisted in earning the Astronomy belt loop. The astronomers will also touch on requirements 2,3,4,5,and 7 on the astronomy pin. Parents will need to assist their Cub Scouts and keep a record of what their Cub Scout accomplishes and take this information back to their pack. 3) One of the activities at the Cuboree will be a shuttle capsule re-entry activity. Cub Scouts, individually or as dens, need to complete their capsule before they come to the Cuboree. Once they report to this activity site on the vista of the Grand Lodge, they will be given a raw egg astronaut and then they will launch their capsule off the deck to see if their "astronaut" survives re-entry. The capsule may be any shape and must be easily opened and closed. Cushion your "astronaut". No power supplies may be used. Devices which produce lift or drag, like a parachute, are permitted. The Cub Scout must actively participate in the construction of the capsule. Email Karen Goldstein atklgoldst@yahoo.com if there are any questions.
4) There will be a second email after this one for final details, but right now two more BIG things - DON'T BRING ANY ADDITIONAL UNREGISTERED PARTICIPANTS TO THE CUBOREE. WE ARE PACKED TO THE GILLS AND WE WANT THE EVENT TO BE A MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCE FOR ALL. WE HAVE HAD TO TURN AWAY SOME PACKS ALREADY. AND, I WOULD APPRECIATE KNOWING NOW THE NAMES OF ANY VOLUNTEERS FROM YOUR UNITS SO WE CAN BEGIN TO INPUT THEM INTO THE EVENT.
REGISTRATION / CHECK IN GUIDELINES ¨ Upon arriving at Camp Durant, park your vehicle near your campsite area following the directions of the parking staff. ¨ Send one adult leader to register your unit at the picnic shelter in each campsite. The Pack must provide a list of all attendees including adults and siblings. (Note: Packs that have Pre-Registered will be checked in faster. We will still need a current roster of everyone attending for the weekend). One event patch per camper or day visitor is provided with each paid registration, so we need an accurate count. ¨ Each campsite will be hosted by a District Commissioner to assist with registration. They will assign you an area to camp for your unit. ¨ Set-up your campsite (Note: Due to an expected large turnout, more than one Pack will be assigned to each campsite. Please be courteous to your neighbors.) ¨ Please follow the direction of all Staff & Traffic Coordinators. This will facilitate your check in and getting to your campsite. ¨ BALOO leadership is required for each Pack that will be family camping, in accordance with the Guide to Safe Scouting and BSA policies. ¨ Each participating Scout and adult leader must be registered with BSA. If a Scout is not yet on the Council roster, a registration form must be completed during registration. ¨ Information packets will be given out during registration.
